Four Locals
W ill Run In
2 6 Mile Race
The 26 mile run called the
Seaside Marathon, last year
attracted two runners from Ver
noma, and this year two more
are added to that figure
Melvin Nice, the Biology and
Boy’s P.E teacher, and Pat
Curl, a student at VHS ran the
race last year. Nice managed to
finish about 350th in a field of
about 600 participants Pat fin
ished a strong 31st place in the
competition. Approximately 600
people started the race, but only
about 500 managed to finish
The race starts at the Seaside
Turn Around and goes through
the town of Gearheart Then the
runners turn around near the
Astoria Country Club, and they
run back to the starting place for
the finish
The whole length of the race is
26 miles 385 yards, up and down
hills, and through long straight
stretches
The other two runners from
Vernonia besides Nice and Pat
are Pat's brother Jeft. ano
Jeff's classmate Kelly Smith.
During the last several miles
of last year’s race, Nice de
veloped cramps in his legs,
which forced him to stop running
until the pain subsided This is
probably the reason for his late
finish
Training for this year’s Mara
thon. he was running around the
seven mile loop, and was sav
agely attacked by a dog which
left him with several teeth
marks on his thigh
Pat. who is the number one
cross country man at VHS. runs
the year around and stays in top
physical condition
Jeff is hoping to run the course
in about three hours and 15
minutes, and Nice is bidding for
about the same time.
Kelly Smith is a good, con
sistent runner and should finish
well up in the pack, with Jeff and
Nice.
There are a lot of students at
VHS. who are planning to drive
to Seaside to watch the four
athletes torture themselves.
A statement from Pat after
completing the 26 mile marathon
last year was, “ I t ’s not the first
26 miles that gets to you. i t ’s the
last 385 yards that hurt.’ ’
The Marathon w ill be run
February 23, and w ill start at
11:30 sharp

Funny Speeches
The elements were evidently
against the VHS Loggers last
Saturday 16. as bad officiating
by the referees, cold shooting,
and injuries gave the top ranker)
Concordia Luthern Bluejays a
convincing 64-46 victory over the
tough Loggers in league play.
The first quarter started out
disasterously for the Loggers as
Concordia, took control of the
game with a <-n lead VHS then
rallied back to cut the defense
minded Bluejays lead to two
points. 6-4. It was nip and tuck
for most of the quarter, until the
last threw minutes when the
Loggers hafi a chance to tie the
score, but a traveling violation
quickly ended the drive. The
remaining minutes saw Concor
dia run away with the score, also
calls from the referees forced
VHS to turn the ball over
repeatedly The score at the end
of the first quarter read 8-14 in
Concordia's favor.
The second quarter started
without Vernonia’s big man
senior Mike Smith Smith saw
lim ited action throughout the
game as he had a foot injury
F illing Smith's shoes was sopho
more Bob Brooks, who lacked
the experience, but did a good
job of guarding Concordia big
man E ric Dressier.
The second quarter had Ver
nonia fans on their feet as,
without Mike Smith, they closed
within four points The hot
shooting of Concordia’s Art
Harrison ended the Diggers
hope of tieing up the score as the
half time buzzer rang The half
time score saw Concordia with a
six point advantage 21-27
The third quarter saw Con
cordia run away with the score,
as Vernonia couldn't seem to get
the ball through the hoop Senior
Greg
Bellingham
displayed
quick movements as he success
fully weaved through the tough
Concordia defenders to score a
couple of baskets and temporar
ily pick up the lagging Loggers
Despite Bellingham s efforts and
the tough Vernonia defense,
Concordia consistently hit the
long outside shots and by the end
of the third quarter had taken a
twenty point lead, with the score
reading 30-50
The fourth quarter was almost
an exact repeat of the third
period, as the Loggers couldn't
seem to pull themselves to
gether The quarter seemed to
last forever as the Bluejays took
a twenty-six point advantage
over the Loggers With only 3:00
left to play, both teams put in
their top JV's.
The only highlight of the fourth
quarter was when the Vernonia
JV's outplayed the Concordia
JV ’s, coming from a 26 point
deficeit to narrowing Concor
dia's lead to 18 points. At the
final buzzer the score read 64-46,
with Concordia winning their
seventh straight league game
High scorers for the Diggers
were, Greg Bellingham with 12,
